Shwadhin Bangla Betar Kendra-famed legendary singer, composer, and music director Shujeyo Shyam passed away Thursday night at Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University (BSMMU) in the capital, at the age of 78.

The eminent artist breathed his last around 2:50am, his daughter Rupa Manjuri Shyam confirmed to the media. His body has been taken to Dhakeshwari temple in the capital for public homage. After that, his last rites will be performed at Sabujbagh Baradeshwari Crematorium in the capital. 

Shujeyo Shyam was battling cancer and other health issues including high diabetes and kidney problems. According to his daughter, he got an infection after a pacemaker was implanted in his heart last September.

He was admitted to BSMMU last September 24. At that time, he was being treated in the CCU as there were no beds available in the ICU.

A four-times Bangladesh National Film Award winner for Best Music Director, Shujeyo Shyam is revered for composing the final song for Swadhin Bangla Betar Kendra during the 1971 Liberation War and the maiden song following the surrender of the Pakistani occupation forces.    —UNB
